I attempted to make an oil-based hair pomade based on a recommended formula, but the texture is too hard, and it feels very greasy (leaves hair shiny). Some ingredients have separated on the surface, and the hold is low. I would like to consult on which ingredients should be added, removed, or reduced in quantity to achieve the desired properties of being less greasy and having high hold. The current pomade formula is as follows: * Beeswax 15% * Paraffin Wax 4.6% * Coconut Oil 46.5% * Caster oil 17.5% * Dimethicone 4.8% * Paste Maker 11.6% If I modify the formula by adding Easy Hair Styler (8 Hr.), Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Wax), or Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), would I achieve the desired results? (Previously, I tried a formula using Butter Cream Maker at 3%, but the texture was too hard).

Hello, I have a question about dissolving Pure-Phytosterols™. I used Octyldodecanol at 3% for dissolution, but the Pure-Phytosterols™ still appear as coarse particles and do not seem to dissolve well in the oil phase. When I incorporate this into a cream base, the Pure-Phytosterols™ coarse particles are still dispersed within the cream texture.
